Charlie's newest cousin

Charlie's newest cousin was born this weekend, baby Josephine Bailey Averitt. She's a cute little thing, with lots of thick pretty hair!!! She looks just like her big sister, which is a very good thing. Here she is with her daddy!

Here she is with Cousin Charlie!

Though Josephine is pretty darn cute, Charlie is much more interested in his cousin Cici (whose name he learned to say today!)



We are so thankful for you, baby Josie! We love you already and we praise God for you!

Charlie is going to be a big brother!

That's right, Charlie's world will never be the same, come mid-November. We couldn't be more excited! The sonogram showed a healthy little baby with a strong heartbeat. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

So, we envisioned this really cute picture with Charlie smiling while holding the sonogram. But Charlie was not interested at all. He did not want to have anything to do with holding the sonogram.

So....we tried a few alternatives. I tried holding it up to him while he smiled...but he mostly rolled around on the ground.

Then, when we tried again, out of frustration, he started biting the sonogram. (I'm sure he will love his little brother or sister once they are born.....here's hoping!)

Exhibit A: The bitten sonogram. (For those of you interested in looking at the sonogram, the baby is in the black circle, the head is on top and it's a profile view).

Then, we finally bribed him to pick up the sonogram on the floor, and bring it across the room to us. Could have fooled you, though, huh? You'd think he was really excited to be a big brother!

The day we found out, we all went to Kuby's for breakfast to celebrate (a tradition we started when we found out about Charlie!)

We can't wait for our blog post introducing you to our little one!!!
